Context of Numbers 13:16

14From Naphtali's tribe: Nahbi, the son of Vophsi. 15From Gad's tribe: Geuel, the son of Maki. Those are the names of the men that Moses sent to explore the land. Moses changed the name of Hoshea, the son of Nun, to Joshua. 17Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan. He said to them, ‘Go north from here, through the Negev desert. Then continue to go north, into the place where there are hills. 18Look at the land to see what it is like. See whether the people who live there are strong or weak. See whether few people or many people live there.

Commentaries on Numbers 13:16

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 16Oshea, Hoshea, or Hosea, the name also of the last king of Israel and the first minor prophet, means “deliverance” or and by the hand of him who bore the title of “God‘s salvation.” Jehoshua was contracted (compare Nehemiah 8:17) into Jeshua.Read the comment
